Excellent attorney and team

Mark and his team (especially Julia, and Susan) have been amazing- his understanding of my situation, his team's handling of my divorce case have been awesome. My ex-husband was and is extremely abusive. I had hired another attorney prior to working with Mark. The previous attorney did not "get it...." Mark understood how abuse can affect a survivor, and worked with me to meet the challenges of this situation. Mark is highly respected in the legal community as well. He is who you want on your side in the courtroom. He and his team made a very difficult time bearable, and the outcome is that I have my life back.

Superb, hardworking advocate and legal counsel

After hiring two other divorce lawyers during a hostile two-year divorce proceeding I was happy to have discovered Mark. Mark was able to provide me more information and expertise in one long 3-hour initial consultation than the first lawyer had in an entire year. The second lawyer was all talk and... no follow through. When I hired Mark in the middle of my divorce, he got right to work, getting up to speed with my case, being proactive in my case, and dealing with opposing counsel in an effective professional manner. Important to me was that he really listened to my concerns and, I felt, he actually understood quickly the nuances and details of my situation that I expressed to him. Further, Mark had an in depth knowledge of the court, judges, procedures, strategies, custody evaluators, and a good sense of many of the biases and tendencies of these various players in the family law system. Mark was able to effectively help get my case settled in what was a contentious divorce with a hostile and difficult opposing spouse. I was glad and grateful to have Mark on my side giving me legal support and advocacy during a difficult process and time in my life. Without reservation, I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to hire a superb, experienced, hard-working family law lawyer.

A diligent and committed advocate

Mr. Barzda represented me during a years-long series of legal actions. First, in a fairly straightforward divorce with custodial issues, then in two different emergency parenting time / motion to modify proceedings. In every instance Mr. Barzda was thorough, dedicated, professional, and as strong an ...advocate as a client could hope for. His client communication is first rate; he is able to distill complicated procedures and issues to their essence and offer informed counsel. I wouldn't hesitate to retain his services again or seek his advice regarding any family law matter. A client who hires Mr. Barzda is certain to have the best possible representation available.

OUTSTANDING DIVORCE ATTORNEY!!!

I had hired Mr. Barzda after previously working with four (4) divorce attorneys and not getting anywhere in my case and loosing in court hearings. After taking my complicated and messy divorce case, Mr. Barzda gave full attention to my case, turned things around and managed to end my divorce success...fully for me. I find Mr. Barzda to be extremely detail oriented, very knowledgeable in divorce law, hard-working, smart with great communications skills, and, most importantly, with good heart. He is an excellent negotiator and mediator, but, if needed, he is a great trial attorney, as well. He truly worked in MY BEST INTERESTS!!! I can't thank him enough. I will highly recommend him to anybody with simple or complicated divorce case.
